Seattle Filmmaker Makes Sale at SXSW

T.J. Martin, the Seattle filmmaker who, along with Brian Quist, made A Day in the Hype of America, just sold his film, Undefeated, to The Weinstein Company at SXSW. The documentary follows a Memphis football team, the Manassas Tigers, whose new coach decided to change the team after years when they were “so woefully underfunded that the school made money by hiring the team out to serve as the punching bag that traveled to the home stadiums of wealthy Tennessee teams for their homecoming games.”
